Abstract/Description

This study is part of an independent study/ special problems (MKT 595)

The objective of this exploratory project is to inquire about the history, current state and future prospects of the e-sports industry. Headlines such as "Esports continue TV push with ESPN and Turner, sparking enthusiasm" and "eSports hits big time, with or without Olympics" seem to suggest an unstoppable boom of e-sports. Is the hype justified? Can e-sports really appeal to mainstream customers or is the hype only a fad?
